This is the end of ' An English Army List of 1740,' the first instalment of which appeared in ' N. & Q.' on July 1, 1916. Major -General Astley Terry sent a most interesting note upon other old Army Lists, which appeared in ' N. & Q.' of Aug. 12, 1916, but made no mention of Milan's lists of ' The succession of Colonels to all his Majesty's Land Forces, &c.,' published in 1742, 1744, 1745, and probably in other years. These lists were printed from engraved plates ; they contain some curious remarks against the names of officers, such as :
- Obliged to sell for his cowardice at Lisingin." No date.
- Broke for surrendering Deynse to the French." Nov. 1, 1695.
' Broke for not relieving Derry." April 13, 1689. ' Cashiered for extortion in his regiment." Mar. 4, 1 695. ' Removed for refusing to introduce the Pope's Nuncio." July 23, 1687. ' Broke for cowardice at Londonderry." April 13, 1689. "Beheaded." July 15, 1685, and Jan. 28, 1697. There is also the printed list of the Parliamentary Army, which was published in 1642 and reprinted in Peacock's ' Army List of the Roundheads and Cavaliers.' There is a copy of this in the library of the Royal United Service Institution. J. H. LESLIE, Lieut. -Colonel. "' SWEET LAVENDER " (see 10 S. x. 146 ; xii. 176; 11 S. ii. 144; iv. 66; 12 S. vii. 107). Vendors of fragrant bunches of " sweet lavender," from the " fields " of Mitcham and elsewhere, were seen much earlier than usual in our London streets this summer. The writer heard the melo- dious cry in a northern suburb at the end of June, though the merchant seemed depressed in spirit as well as in song, per- chance through lack of business. Indeed, his appeal for custom was so feebly rendered as to be scarcely intelligible, which was sad for those who love to hear the old familiar chant softly warbled. The days have passed when barrow-loads were wont to find a ready market where now a basketful suffices to meet the demand. Is the process
